1 Collins Mixer Collins Bay Yacht Club Newsletter The Awards for Fast Behaviour November the first was the date. RMC s Officers Mess was the venue. Racers and cruiser alike gathered to honour the heroes of the racing season and the serenity of the cruisers. There were many highlights of the evening however the applause meter went off the scale when the winner of the Lead Life Ring Award was announced to tumultuous cheers. More to come later. Drinks were available at six and by seven we were filing in to the dinning room for a great dinner of either chicken or beef (not to say we couldn t tell the difference but we had a choice) and over desert Vice Commodore Paul Loyst introduced our director of Racing Steve Yates who recounted the great squall of 2008 which The Vice Commodore addressing the masses. Upcoming Events 2009 No. 149 DECEMBER 2008 nearly consumed Bruce Rand s Olsen. Bruce had the boat back up and running for the next race and for his perseverance and dedication to the sport he was awarded the Sportsmanship Award.

3 No. 149 DECEMBER 2008 COLLINS MIXER The Awards for Fast Behaviour cont d Racing awards of note went to Aaron Buller skipper of the winning boat in the annual junior regatta and Dave Wilby won the award for winning the annual Frostbite regatta. Dave unfortunately dropped the trophy as his hands were still frozen in the shape of a tiller handle. Bruce Rand with his Sportsmanship Award The top boat over the whole season was skippered by Steve Yates who placed well in almost every race he and his crew entered. There will be many more flags flying on Surfer Girl come Sailpast day in June next year. The Commodore s Cup was presented to Sarah Visser as an Outstanding Club Member particularly for her contribution to the sailing school. A complete list of all the award winners is available under the Awards menu on the club website header and there are also many fine racing pictures on the website as well. PAGE 3 Marilyn Sykes and Robert van Dyke put together a video prese n t a t i o n based on c o nt r ib u- tions of stills and video from all the c r u i s e r s with music to stir the hearts of the most avid racers who will now want to join in on all next seasons cruises! Lead Life Ring Award: I told you there would be more later. Dennis Read was tasked with the job of presenting this most auspicious award for the member most remembered for his sailing prowess over the course of the season. Hans Mertins of the good ship Moondance was the overwhelming favourite for several incidents that brought smiles to the faces of all sailors everywhere. Now I could detail the fine examples of the situations that produced this t r e m e n d o u s l y popular win however if you look again as to who might be the fine editor of this newsletter you will find that there would be a lot of editing in this article. I think I ll just stop now.

4 PAGE 4 COLLINS MIXER No Social Committee Notes DECEMBER JUNE 2008 The Social Scene 2008 was a busy year for your socialites as Jan Wilby started the year off with organizing the earlier events and Pat Redford taking over the reins after moving to the area from the big smoke. Several coffee shops, a couple of pancake breakfasts plus the all the standard fare such as the Sailpast and Fun Day and the Awards Banquet saw many people lend their talents and help for which the social committee is grateful. Pat and Lionel Redford in particular enjoyed the year as new members and new to the area, as it gave us a chance to meet many of you and be assimilated quickly into the cultural mores of the Kingston scene. Merry Christmas and a Happy Sailing New Year to One and All from the Collins Bay Yacht Club Executive Next Year Pat Redford has agreed to carry on as Social Director while Lionel remains her faithful slave and the slate of events is shaping up much the same as the past year. While the calendar has not been written in stone as yet, there are coffee shops, pancake breakfasts and our usual events just waiting to be arranged, many of which are dependant on the race calendar to be set. The Ottawa Winter Land Cruise and the Kingston Cruising Awards pot luck dinner are coming up in January and February as well as two seminars organized by Phil Morris in February and March are in the works which will help speed up the transition to spring (we hope). Details will be announced as they become available. Your help again this coming year will be needed and appreciated as we hope to make our events bigger, better and fun for all during the coming boating season. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, and a happy new sailing year. When you re cleaning out cupboards this winter and spring remember your social committee! We need some warming trays and an electric grill for our pancake breakfasts, and an electric kettle. If you have any of these items and would like to donate them to the club please call: Pat Redford
